Bills’ Nigel Bradham gets marijuana charge dismissed

Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham will not have to face marijuana charges, if he can stay out of trouble for the next six months.

A judge in Upstate New York dropped marijuana charges against Bradham today, on the condition that he’s not in trouble with the law again for six months.

Bradham was cited for marijuana possession last month after he was pulled over and the police officer said he smelled marijuana. When the officer asked about the smell, Bradham handed him a plastic bag with a small amount of marijuana. Police do not believe he was under the influence while he was driving.

The judge also threw out a charge of driving with windows that were tinted too dark, which was the initial reason Bradham was pulled over.

This is normal and mandated NY State Criminal Procedure Law for a first arrest with Possession of Marihuana. The window tint violation was either dismissed because the officer didn’t use an official tint meter and just stated they were too dark (common sense) or the ticket was dismissed as part of the plee. It says thrown out though so I tend to believe no meter was used.
